'Moonlight': A Retrospective on Barry Jenkins' Masterpiece
Barry Jenkins' masterpiece holds up as the story of a lifetime centered on the intersection of Blackness and gay identity.

A twist on the traditional romantic comedy, My Cousin's Wedding follows Gina, the cousin of the groom, the cousin of the groom, as she takes a breather outside the rehearsal dinner and discovers Ashley, a party-crasher who says she's the cousin of the bride. But after a few minutes and an almost make-out session, we discover Ashley's not actually the bride's cousin, but the groom's ex -- and here to win him back. Thus begins a farcical whirlwind of characters entering and exiting, declaring their love, taking it back, and ultimately - making the right choice. Because every decision is the right one, as long as you make it. This is a comedy of errors about the nature of love and impossibility of making decisions.

The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!
If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film.
(Disclaimer: Harmful Language) In celebration of Pride Month, Father's Day, and father figures (and whoever supports you), I revisit Moonlight's brief but spectacular character, Juan. With overarching themes tied to masculinity, I reexamine his intimacy with Little.
